I'm new to this forum and while I realize there's lots of posts out in the bike forum world on this subject, I really haven't found any that helped me much or, they old threads and i'd like to hear from someone that might have a longer term opinion, so here goes.

I have a 2012 Ultra Classic and ride 2-up and loaded often. As thousands have said, the Harley air shocks sucked, so, I've been searching around for the right shock for me. I weigh around 230 and my rider around 120. I've been looking at the Progressive shocks, more especially the 944, 416, and Air Dragger. I understand that the 944 Ultra Tour isn't an air shock, but there seems to be a lot of folks that like it. I have a hard time understanding how a shock such as that can handle such a wide weight variance, which leads me to the 416 and Dragger. I already have a compressor system on my bike (I had some Monroe air ride shocks on it but they kept blowing out), so price for either will be about the same.

Does anyone have any opinions good or bad about any of these 3 shocks? I'm leaning toward the Dragger since I'm already equipped with a compressor, but at the end of the day, I want something that will work best..
